Like many people, he worked various jobs while he built a career. After he had published about 10 books, he had a goal to make a reasonable income each year from the royalties. It was like $10,000 per year, which was a modestly above-average salary. When Cat in the Hat was published, it sold over a million copies very quickly, and when that happened, interest increased in his older works. From then on, he was pretty wealthy.
